Description

Ingredients

• 8 oz rotini pasta
• 1½ cups shredded chicken (I use a rotisserie chicken, shredded)
• ⅓ cup chopped red pepper
• ⅓ cup chopped celery (optional)
• ½ cup buffalo sauce
• ½ cup ranch dressing
• 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 Tbsp chopped scallions

Directions

• Cook pasta according to package instructions.
• Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
• Add chicken breast and red pepper and stir to combine.
• In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and black pepper to make a sauce.
• Pour sauce over pasta mixture and stir until well combined.
• Stir in mozzarella cheese (it is best to add this while the pasta is still warm so that the cheese mostly melts).
• Top with chives and serve*
